I recently informed you that the second release of the ‘File package accounts with Companies House’ service, and the release of the 2025 Taxonomy suite would go ahead at the beginning of April. I can now confirm this is scheduled for the 2nd of April 2025.
Ahead of the second release, you will also be able to test the new packages from the planned date of the 17th of March 2025, using the iXBRL test validator service: XBRL Company Accounts Validator.
The TIS (specification) for accounts also requires some additional updates since my last mail; I will let you know when these have been made and update you accordingly.
I should add that the rules’ changes I notified you about in January will also come into force from the 2nd of April 2025.
As a reminder, we are introducing a new rule to ensure Group/Consolidated accounts are not submitted as dormant, and we are also ensuring that where revised accounts are submitted to Companies House that no ‘Opinion of auditors on entity’ is necessary/required, as this is replaced by the ‘Opinion of auditors on revised accounts’ in the Auditor’s report.
Should any of the above dates change, I will update you as soon as possible.
